This little side trail is amazing. If you haven't or can't make it to the redwoods of California, this will suffice. The trail is an easy walk and the scenery is outstanding. The trees are the largest you will ever see. Amateur photographers can practice many lighting techniques with the trails changing light and shade patterns. We even laid on... More

so if the mountain isn't out, wandering through the grove of the patriarchs is still gorgeous. There's no bad weather: just wrong clothes (or so they say)....

We got to see a lot of very old trees that were enormous! The trail is very well maintained, and is an easy little hike! Lots of interesting fungi, and mushrooms too!

Visited with my 8-yr old daughter and my 84-yr old mothe. We all loved it. It was a very manageable trail. There w plenty of opportunity for my daughter to climb up a minor forking path, or run own to the stream that ran parallel to the first half. The bouncy bridge added excitement and fun, I am not worthy... More

Visited early in the am - very little crowd. Awesome short hike that crosses a bridge into 1000yr old trees to behold. A must see at Rainier. Take your time and drink in the beautiful scenery

It might be difficult to find parking here, but if you can make sure to check this place out. There's a short hike and then a crazy suspension bridge, then a beautifully maintained grove of massive trees and nursing logs. Great for all ages!

the number of people hiking this trail kills its pristine setting and old growth trees. Great for families and especially nice to be next to the water. If you seek solitude, then you are out of luck. Other than that, it is a beautiful easy walk.

Enjoyed this easy walk. We have young children and they all did great along this trail. Very large trees made the walk exciting. Very nice path and wooden walkways around the trees. The only thing was the bridge over the water. Several people did not heed the sign that said to cross one at a time so as I was... More

This was a great, easy hike through forest of huge trees. Mostly all level loop trail, with just a small downward slope in the beginning, and then back up at the end. Suspended bridge was fun for the kids. Stream was beautiful as well, the water extremely cold and clear.
